Recently I had the pleasure of cooking at the Mid Atlantic Wine & Food Festival in Wilmington, DE! This was one of my contributions over the course of the festival. Super refreshing and balanced with sweet (peas), salty (bacon), & savory (herbs) !

This here is my favorite twist on the classic Waldorf Salad! Light enough to have as a snack or satisfying enough for a meal!

Dinner for One

tracy — Fri, 04 May 2012 04:11:45 +0000

It’s one of those evenings where I want something deliciously warm, seasonal, and light…and it’s been a long day so I’m about ready to relax and want something that can also be whipped up fast. Hence, I turn to Dover sole and Serrano ham for help! Simply- seasoned Dover sole is wrapped in Serrano then [...]

Fried Oyster, Crispy Leeks, Frisee with Lemon Sriracha Aioli

For a light little snack I decided to borrow a friend from the sea. As an oyster lover (raw or cooked), I wanted to try something new this time. Believe it or not…I had never fried an oyster. Being from New England, these beauties are plucked from the sea and served raw more times [...]

Buttery Hen with Quinoa Goat Cheese Stuffing, Grilled Radicchio

Since Fall has arrived in style, I celebrated it’s arrival with a warm and earthy dinner of seasonal local foods! That glistening bird you see there is none-other than a cornish game hen. Basted in a skillet with a generous amount of butter and thyme, the little bird is then placed in the oven to [...]

Arugula Salad with Roasted Beets, Pickled Green Beans, & Fixings

tracy — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 04:12:26 +0000

My new favorite salad! Arugula tossed with lemon and olive oil, served with roasted golden beets, shallots, zebra tomatoes, goat cheese, pickled green beans and of course a poached egg. With salads I do not typically provide measurements as they are dishes that everyone should be comfortable making (for the most part) without a recipe. [...]

From There to Here (Part Deux)

From There to Here (Part Deux) …After all my houseguests departed, I had a bit of “empty nest syndrome”. Luckily, I had enough work to keep me busy. Aside from the charity events Alejandra and I had been doing, we also had numerous high profile events throughout the month. With that said, our chance [...]

From There to Here

tracy — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:57:04 +0000

From There to Here (First Installment) In life, we all have a moment or two when we look around at our surroundings and ask ourselves, “How did I get here?” For me this question keeps poking up quite a bit lately, so I thought a trip down memory lane would help bring me to that exact [...]
